One volume of multi-volume history of international law.
Unconventional Warfare and the Venezuelan Society
The study exemplifies the use of knowledge derived from scholarly studies in the social sciences to lay the foundation for defenses against modern unconventional warfare. Unconventional warfare is defined as a system of conflict the strategy of which is to secure control of the state by first gaining control of its civilian population. The study is a follow-up to a pioneer attempt in the use of social science techniques, which treated the situation in South Vietnam. To determine how useful the procedures developed there would be when applied to a different situation, a brief investigation was conducted from June to August 1963 of unconventional warfare in Venezuela using the same procedural ...
The Impact of the American Revolution Abroad
"God grant that not only the love of liberty, but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man, may prevail in all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere on its surface and say, This is my country." With this quotation from Benjamin Franklin, historian Richard Morris, Columbia University, opened the fourth Library of Congress Symposium on the American Revolution, held May 8 and 9, 1975, in the Librarys Coolidge Auditorium.

Revolution in the Countryside
Although most discussions of the Guatemalan "revolution" of 1944-54 focus on international and national politics, Revolution in the Countryside presents a more complex and integrated picture of this decade. Jim Handy examines the rural poor, both Maya and Ladino, as key players who had a decisive impact on the nature of change in Guatemala. He looks at the ways in which ethnic and class relations affected government policy and identifies the conflict generated in the countryside by new economic and social policies. Handy provides the most detailed discussion yet of the Guatemalan agrarian reform, and he shows how peasant organizations extended its impact by using it to lay claim to land, despite attempts by agrarian officials and the president to apply the law strictly. By focusing on changes in rural communities, and by detailing the coercive measures used to reverse the "revolution in the countryside" following the overthrow of President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman, Handy provides a framework for interpreting more recent events in Guatemala, especially the continuing struggle for land and democracy.
